St. Valentine's Day Massacre investigation, in a Chicago newspaper...



Item # 702354

February 26, 1929

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Feb. 26, 1929

* St. Valentine's Day Massacre investigations
* George 'Bugs' Moran & Al 'Scarface' Capone
* Best publication to be had - very rare as such


The top of page 3 has a one column heading: "ORDER ARREST OF 17 AS SUSPECTS IN GANG KILLING" with subhead. Related photo on the back page. Report contains a list of possible suspects including Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn. (see images) Such reports are probably only reported in a Chicago publication, so rare as such.
When it comes to gangsters, organized crime, and the nefarious activities born out of the Prohibition and Great Depression eras, no city is more in the forefront of our minds than Chicago - and what better newspaper can be found than the Chicago Tribune, self-proclaimed to be "The World's Greatest Newspaper".
Complete with all 46 pages, rag edition, great condition.
